Go Fish!
Luke 5:4-5 (ESV): “And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.’ And Simon answered, ‘Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.’”
The morning sun was shining bright. Two little boats were approaching shore…the men onboard were tired; their nets were empty. The men had fished all night, but had caught no fish. As Jesus watched from the seashore, He called to them “Go fish some more!” The idea of trying one more time seemed almost overwhelming. “Doesn’t He know that we’ve already tried, and we’ve failed?” But, there was something in Jesus’s voice or perhaps that look of knowing in His eyes that compelled the weary fishermen to let down their nets one more time. The result? Their nets were so full of fish, they could barely contain the weight!
Are you tired? Weary of trying? Does it seem like no matter what you do things will never change? Let me encourage you today to listen to the voice of Jesus. Allow Him to lift your chin and refresh your spirit. Then, go fish! Get back out there and do all that you can do for the glory of God. What you cannot do…Christ will handle in His own time. Who knows, today may just be the day that your net is filled!
Be a fisher of men for Christ today!
